The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1000

“Let me give you a ride,” Bruce stood up.

Thalassa’s heart clenched at the proposal, her entire body vigilant.

She didn’t need Bruce’s charity at all. Was this another one of his veiled threats?

Bruce didn’t dare to protest Lucy’s assertiveness. Arguing over such a trivial matter was not worth the hassle, especially when it would just lead to Lucy dredging up the past.

Bruce sat back down reluctantly.

Lucy shoved a fork into his hand, “Just keep eating.”

Bruce slumped in his chair. He looked unhappy. His disdain for Lucy had reached its maximum, and he yearned to be free from her right now.
